“Voting is the foundation stone for political action. Our vote would place in Congress true representatives of the people who would legislate for the Medicare, housing, schools and jobs required by all men of any color.”

“The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men,”

"Over the next 10 days, we get to see the machines that are crooked, the ballots that are fraudulent. And if we're wrong, we will be made fools of. But if we're right, and lot of them will go to jail. So let's have trial by combat"

“The people who did nothing to stop the steal. This gathering should send a message to them: This isn’t their Republican party any more. This is Donald Trump’s.”

“If you’re gonna be the zero and not the hero, we’re coming for you and we’re going to have a good time doing it!”

"I know your pain. I know you're hurt. We had an election that was stolen from us,"

"It's a very tough period of time. There's never been a time like this where such a thing happened where they could take it away from all of us, from me, from you, from our country,"

"We're going to walk down to the Capitol. And we're gonna cheer on our brave senators and congressmen and women. And we're probably not going to be cheering, so much for some of them, because you'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong,"

Since Election Day, a Lot of Tweeting and Not Much Else for Trump

President Trump has tweeted an average of 28 times a day in the last three weeks, mostly lamenting the results of the election, even as the coronavirus pandemic reached new heights across the country.

Since Nov. 3, he has posted some 550 tweets — about three-quarters of which attempted to undermine the integrity of the 2020 election results.

As Mr. Trump’s attacks continue, the coronavirus pandemic rages on, worse than ever. More than 25,000 people in the United States have died from Covid in the past three weeks.

From Nov. 4 to Nov. 23, he has had just eight days with an official schedule, though he has managed to maintain his weekend golf plans at his club in Virginia, as he has done most weekends in Washington.

History won't be kind to these #GOP senators who worked all weekend to kill healthcare WHILE their states had the highest weekly COVID death rates in the US. @senjohnhoeven @SenJoniErnst @MarshaBlackburn @ChuckGrassley @SenRonJohnson @SenAlexander #SCOTUS https://nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/coronavirus-us-cases.html

Exclusive: GOP Sen. Sasse says Trump 'kisses dictators' butts' and mocks evangelicals

Republican Sen. Ben Sasse excoriated President Trump in a telephone conference call with constituents this week, saying he had mishandled the coronavirus response, "kisses dictators' butts," "sells out our allies," spends "like a drunken sailor," mistreats women, and trash-talks evangelicals behind…

www.washingtonexaminer.com

Sasse spokesman James Wegmann confirmed that his boss made the comments, saying the call occurred earlier this week.

"But the reality is that he careened from curb to curb. First, he ignored COVID. And then he went into full economic shutdown mode. He was the one who said 10 to 14 days of shutdown would fix this. And that was always wrong. I mean, and so I don't think the way he's lead through COVID has been reasonable or responsible, or right.”

“The way he kisses dictators' butts. I mean, the way he ignores that the Uighurs are in literal concentration camps in Xinjiang. Right now, he hasn't lifted a finger on behalf of the Hong-Kongers,"

"The United States now regularly sells out our allies under his leadership, the way he treats women, spends like a drunken sailor. The ways I criticize President Obama for that kind of spending; I've criticized President Trump for as well. He mocks evangelicals behind closed doors. His family has treated the presidency like a business opportunity. He's flirted with white supremacists."
